Creative Stance

I was invited by Nadine Monem of common-editions to contribute a text to The Creative Stance. The beautiful publicationis an exploration and celebration of creativity, from filmmaking to design, fashion to sculpture, and from painting to protest.

What does it mean to be ‘creative’? What’s the point of a creative education? What happens at art school?

Structured around seven key creative values – imagination, provocation, risk, resilience, rigour, agency and ambiguity – The Creative Stance reflects on the rewards and demands of any creative endeavour. It brings together texts, conversations and materials from across and beyond the traditional artistic disciplines, it is essential reading for art students, entrepreneurs, and everyone who has felt a creative urge.
